Chapter 704: Catering Department
Raccoon?!
Wei Dong stood frozen in place, peering through the scope, and after confirming multiple times that it was indeed a raccoon, he fell into deep confusion.
What on earth is a raccoon doing in this cursed place?
Moreover, why is this raccoon walking on two legs?!
Has it become sentient?
No, that’s not right… this must be some kind of “mystery”? But how could such a “mystery” appear in this place?
Wei Dong hesitated. He had initially thought the alarm was triggered by those two disaster knife masters, but he didn’t expect the intruder to be just a low-level raccoon “mystery,” which seemed harmless.
If he pulled the trigger here, the gunshot would likely expose his position. However, if those two disaster knife masters really hadn’t come here, then exposing his position might not be a big deal?
Should he shoot or not?
After pondering for a moment, Wei Dong made up his mind and aimed his sniper rifle at the raccoon below.
As a “paratrooper,” his mission was to set up the signal transmitter and guide the “sentinels” here, so he had to ensure the area was safe first. This wandering raccoon “mystery” was ultimately a potential threat.
Moreover, even if those two disaster knife masters showed up, as long as he shot and immediately changed locations, they wouldn’t know his exact position.
Wei Dong held the sniper rifle, aimed at the raccoon’s head, and slowly squeezed the trigger!
At that moment, the raccoon was wobbling along the dimly lit path, its brown fur shimmering with a smooth sheen in the pale blue light. Its black, gem-like eyes were scanning the surroundings, seemingly filled with curiosity about everything.
Suddenly, its gaze fell upon a glass marble stuck in the cracks of a broken wall nearby.
Its eyes lit up.
Oh?
This little stone is so pretty.
Just as it bent down to pick up the marble, a sharp gunshot echoed through the alley.
Bang—!
A dark red bullet whizzed past its forehead, singeing a few strands of fur. The sudden attack startled it, and it instantly leaped four or five meters into the air, darting through the complex ruins of the streets at an astonishing speed.
It glanced back toward the direction of the gunfire, its heart racing wildly!
I’m going to die, I’m going to die!!
I almost lost my life here!
It hadn’t even made it to the upper echelons of the dining department, hadn’t become Assistant Minister A Zhu’s aide, and hadn’t even had the chance to sneak a satisfying midnight snack in the kitchen. If it died here, that would be such a waste.
Its name was Taowan, a “Lucky Raccoon,” a caregiver at the Divine Mental Hospital, Room 277, under the dining department led by A Zhu. Its realm was only at the touching “Pool” level, with no real offensive capability. However, its occasional lucky bonuses always allowed it to escape death in the fog.
Among the seven divisions of the gods, the highest combat power belonged to the security department under Hong Yan. Unfortunately, most of its members were powerful “mysteries” at the “Limitless” or “Klein” level, and with Lin Qiye’s current mental strength, he couldn’t summon them.
Thus, the dining department, which generally had a lower realm but ample manpower, became his target for this large-scale summoning.
Originally, the average realm of the caregivers in the dining department was only at the “River” level. Especially after the dining department’s top combatant, the White Bear, was tricked away by Lin Qiye to become a knife soul, this average realm dropped even further. With Lin Qiye’s current peak “Sea” level mental strength, summoning thirty to forty caregivers at once was not a problem.
Seeing the raccoon evade his bullet in such an unbelievable manner, Wei Dong stood there in shock. Half a second later, he quickly got up, grabbed his sniper rifle, and jumped down from the building, sprinting toward another structure.
This shot had already exposed his position; for safety’s sake, he needed to change his battlefield.
He believed that with his speed, even if someone were to track him, by the time they reached his original sniping point, he would have successfully moved several kilometers away.
Unfortunately, what he didn’t expect was that after the gunshot, nearly forty caregivers from the dining department scattered throughout the ruins began to converge on his location from different directions!
……
On the other side.
Hearing the distant gunfire, Lin Qiye and Yu Gong Qinghui turned to look.
“It’s that mysterious person,” Lin Qiye raised an eyebrow.
Yu Gong Qinghui frowned slightly, “Is it really okay for us to just stroll around like this? His position has been exposed; shouldn’t we go deal with him?”
“This isn’t a stroll; it’s gathering intelligence here,” Lin Qiye squatted down and smashed a pile of debris beside him with one hand. As the dust billowed out, some items from the rooms buried beneath the rubble were revealed.
“And I’ve already said… soon, he will be brought before us.”
Looking at the smile on Lin Qiye’s face, Yu Gong Qinghui felt a bit skeptical, but recalling the nearly forty various “monsters” that had just stood neatly before Lin Qiye and bowed respectfully, she nodded.
The invader’s methods are truly remarkable…
……
Wei Dong, clutching his sniper rifle, moved like a shadow through the ruins of the city, his gaze constantly alert to the surroundings, paying attention to every rustle of grass and wind.
At that moment, his pixelated electronic watch lit up again, several crimson triangular symbols rapidly appearing on the screen, and they were increasing at an alarming rate!
The alarm devices he had set up nearby were being triggered one after another.
Seeing this, Wei Dong’s pupils constricted!
So many alarms being triggered could not be caused by a single unit; this indicated that there were numerous unknown units approaching nearby!
Was it some kind of crisis hidden in these ruins, or something else?
Several thoughts flashed through Wei Dong’s mind, and his heart sank. After hesitating for a moment, he quickly climbed onto the nearest broken low building, hiding his body behind the crumbling walls, and peered through the gaps to observe the surroundings.
Before long, three figures in deep green caregiver uniforms appeared nearby, seemingly searching for something.
By their size, Wei Dong could tell they were definitely not human; they were likely “mysteries” like the previous raccoon, moving within these ruins. But where did their identical caregiver uniforms come from?
A professional outfit?
Wei Dong was puzzled, but fortunately, his hiding spot was quite clever. The three caregivers scanned the area but didn’t find him, so they dispersed in different directions.
Seeing this, Wei Dong let out a slight sigh of relief.
What he didn’t notice was that above his hiding spot, an invisible web covered every corner of the area, and a child sat in the center of the web, quietly looking down at him.
